protip: sex is not shameful, get that puritanism out of your head.
being an asshole to people should be, though.
if you call nonmale people "ho" or "slut" or tell them to "keep their legs closed" or otherwise Strongly Disapprove of someone's choice of sexual partner(s) based on the modern society-wide patriarchal rule set that privileges white cis men over everyone else, well, we for sure ain't gonna get along.
Well, I've never really seen "slut shaming" come up insofar as a serious thread on this forums. When what I've always understood to be sex-related slurs are used, it almost always in a joking manner between friends in a banter thread or something similar.
I don't think anyone is advocating for slut shaming by any means. But I am rather uncomfortable with the idea that we're changing the meaning of words because one person has a problem with it and purports to represent an entire industry made up of probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of others.
